NBC Sports Calls TN Football...

[OuterBanksVol]

"Featherweights".

From: 2013: A look ahead | CollegeFootballTalk

3. Gary Pinkel, Missouri
In its first season in the SEC, Mizzou failed to meet even modest expectations by winning just five games and finishing with a 2-6 conference record, with the lone wins coming at the expense of conference featherweights Kentucky and Tennessee (sorry Vols).

Come on down to Big Orange Country, NBC Sports writer John Taylor... play some soccer with us!!!

Beating Kentucky makes us Rocky Marciano

 

[miggy4vols]

It is what it is. Until we start winning games again I can't really argue, especially when our only SEC win was against an already fired Joker Phillips.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

The general point of view towards Tennessee from most sports analysts is that we are down right now but we won't be down forever. Which I agree with. But while we're down you just have to be ready to take some serious criticism

 

[mdrew27]

We're on our way back. We came pretty close a few times this year.

 

[steino]

Don't know what else you would call us. Dooley won 1 SEC game in 2 seasons and 4 SEC games in 3 seasons.

 

[CAVol]

Truth hurts.

False

 

[steino]

False

Please enlighten me. As I recall, his SEC record was as follows:

2010 - 3-5
2011 - 1-7
2012 - 0-7

 

[VolMaster14]

ESPN must have bought NBC.

Boom?

 

[VolFan4Life87]

Please enlighten me. As I recall, his SEC record was as follows:

2010 - 3-5
2011 - 1-7
2012 - 0-7

He beat Kentucky in 2012

INB4 "it is what it is until we start winning games"

too late

 

[MG1968]

Please enlighten me. As I recall, his SEC record was as follows:

2010 - 3-5
2011 - 1-7
2012 - 0-7

Pretty sure UT beat Kentucky in 2012, unless you don't consider UK an SEC school

 

[VolMaster14]

INB4 "it is what it is until we start winning games"

Yea that's the biggest BS quote made on this board. We may suck now but our legacy and tradition as far as football is light years ahead of Kentucky, Vandy, Missouri, sh*t just about every SEC team except our three biggest rivals.

 

[utvolpj]

He beat Kentucky in 2012

Chaney coached the UK game

 

[MG1968]

Chaney coached the UK game

technicality...

 

[catchnburn]

Woudl you consider Notre Dame a "feather weight" as well?

 

[steino]

I consider UK an SEC school but I don't confuse Jim Chaney with Derek Dooley.

 

[VolMaster14]

Woudl you consider Notre Dame a "feather weight" as well?

Until they start scheduling top SEC teams, YES!

 

[voldawgforever]

Woudl you consider Notre Dame a "feather weight" as well?

I wouldn't consider Notre Dame at all

 

[VolMaster14]

I consider UK an SEC school but I don't confuse Jim Chaney with Derek Dooley.

Would be hard to confuse the two, unless Cheney wore some orange pants.

 

[utvolpj]

technicality...

as DD showed, there's no guarantee he would have won the UK game so he should take the 7 and run

Going through a downtime, yes. A featherweight? Hardly. UT been heavyweight hardhitters since pimpin been pimpin pimp.
